Donate

Since 1994, the Oyster Recovery Partnership, with its coalition of partners, has been growing hundreds of millions of disease-free oysters and planting them back into the Chesapeake Bay. Costing only a few cents to produce and plant, a few dollar donation can plant thousands of oysters and help us restore the Chesapeake Bay. Please help us make a difference.

Shell Recycling

The Oyster Recovery Partnership, in partnership with local Baltimore, Washington DC and Annapolis based catering companies and restaurants, has launched the Shell Recycling Alliance to recycle used oyster shell. Collecting and reusing these shells is needed not only for their ecologic benefits in being able to enhance the wild population with hatchery produced stock, but also to raise awareness with the public as to their value as well as the value of oysters to the Bay’s overall recovery. Learn more about the program.
